yep. It's a first step though.

IAEA is reporting that Japan was able to get power cable laid to Reactor #2.

I like this question from a commenter on reuters:

Reports of failure to reconnect power to the plant, here's the latest shot from the ground:

Save krok towah!

everyone knows hindsight is 20/20, but when foresight is 0/20, we have a problem

I predict a sudden rise in hypertension for people living in China.

wat

I'm thinking about selling all natural sea-salt radiation tablets to the idiots on the west coast.

they make those all natural now??? i want a case

if only they were organic

That's insane how high the water got, so quickly. That guy on the apt building looks to have bought it. And I bet the guy filming shat his pants when he saw that first house float away.

they are buying salt because most of their salt comes from japan and they are afraid it will be contaminated with radiation. and i guess a few people think they can eat the iodine in it and it will protect them, heh.

:lolwut:

I can't tell if the people screaming were inside the building he was filming from, or inside the building being washed away. I hope it was people seeing that happen.

Yeah I heard that and cringed. So sad.

How much for a bottle of tablets? I'm conncerned about radiation!

wow, thats f'd up. the person on the top of the building across the street is probably dead..when he zooms back that building is no longer there :(

organic radiation tablets

50$'s for 10! Protect your family now!

Not only would drowning scare the **** out of me but all the live wires in water like the power line that fell in the vid that Zombie posted

Damn... I assume the screams were coming from that house that was swept away? Scary ****.

why do people drown? i'd be swimming laps.

live wires, heavy debris, cars, trucks, houses, trees, tables, chairs, you ****ing name it

even if you're an olympic swimmer, im pretty sure if you end up in that water your chances of survival are less than 1%

worst part is, **** happens so fast that regardless of how quickly you respond to the situation, your chances of survival are already zero from the get go

Ok, that's enough. This has all gone too far.

This thread has become completely disgusting.


I hope that you will all find something new to talk about besides the misfortune that is occurring over here.

You are all festering and feeding on the latest news of radioactive horror like bloated fatties wolfing down buttered popcorn in a movie theater.

Most of everything that you are reading in the news and all that you know about what is happening in Japan is a complete and utter crock of ignorant ****.

I can easily say that this event has been blown out of proportion with a degree of hysteria that I have never witnessed before in my life.

That last video of the women screaming to her death while the water carried her house away was just gross and unsettling.

Isn't anyone ashamed about how we are acting? Waiting for the next exciting clip of innocent people dying in agony and calling it "news".

**** this thread.

Paradoxical juxtaposition

is paradoxical.

have fun looking at the world through rose colored glasses. bad **** happens. it should go as a reminder to everyone that life is short.

:scared:

:emo:

That video was awesome, and tsunamis in general are pretty much the **** in terms of watching. Mother nature is badass.

something definitely beautiful / awe inspiring in a huge ****ing wave wiping out towns.

Radioactive fart blowing towards the US west coast.

Individual stories and videos like that help people who are far away (us) empathize with the victims. Would you rather that we just had a couple of days of "large magnitude earthquake, destructive tsunami, 10,000 dead or missing" and all moved on?

I forget from what, but I specifically remember this fag being super emotional and easily upset about really dumb ****. I'm glad this could be confirmed :lol:

Youtube videos -> more CPU resources -> global warming -> more earthquakes

:)

U mad?

Every time you post in this thread God drowns a Japanese kitty.
